SILENT DENIALS: How State Bureaucracy Is Stranding Indiana's Most Vulnerable Children

A bureaucratic ambush is underway across our state. Families are being blindsided as their children’s critical therapeutic services—Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), speech, occupational, and physical therapy—are being abruptly cut off. This is not a mistake. It is the direct result of aggressive reimbursement changes and impossible new technical requirements that have triggered a massive wave of silent Medicaid denials, leaving families confused, isolated, and desperate.

These are not formal denial letters that can be easily appealed. This is a war of attrition. Services are reduced without clear explanation. Prior authorizations are lost in a black hole of paperwork. Providers, unable to navigate the hostile new system, are forced to drop patients. The state has created a system so complex and punitive that it results in a de facto denial of care, effectively stripping children of their federally protected right to medically necessary treatment.

Indiana Medicaid Renewals Show High Procedural Closures, but Not a Verified Count of Coverage Losses

Indiana renewal data show that procedural or administrative reasons accounted for a large share of several recent Medicaid and CHIP renewal cohorts. But those figures do not establish how many people were ineligible, wrongly terminated, uninsured, or permanently off Medicaid.
